Working with Click&Go Rulesets
Activating the Ruleset
A Click&Go Logic ruleset consists of all the rules that are defined for the I/O server. The Click&Go Logic
tab lists all the rules in the current ruleset, which acts as the brain of your active I/O system. The rules in
a ruleset work together to determine what I/O information is sent, who it is sent to, how it is sent, and
under what I/O conditions it is sent. This simple but powerful tool is significantly more efficient with
network and CPU resources than traditional blanket polling methods.
In order to operate as an Active Ethernet I/O server rather than a passive remote I/O server, the ioLogik
E2210 will need to perform three steps after all rules in the ruleset have been defined:
1. The ruleset must first be downloaded from ioAdmin onto the ioLogik E2210. You may do so by
clicking on Download in the Ruleset Management bar.
2. After the ruleset has been downloaded, you must restart the ioLogik E2210. You may do this by right
clicking on the server name in the navigation panel in ioAdmin and selecting Restart. Do not use the
reset button, as that will load all factory defaults and erase your ruleset from memory.
3. After the ioLogik E2210 has restarted, the ruleset must be activated for Active Ethernet I/O
operation. First, you will need to log in as an administrator again in ioAdmin’s Server Setting tab.
Once you have logged in, go to the Click&Go Logic tab and click Run in the Ruleset Management
bar. This will activate the ruleset and the ioLogik E2210 will begin working as an Active Ethernet
I/O server.
When the ruleset has been activated, it will remain active even when the ioLogik E2210 is disconnected
from the host computer or from the network. If the ioLogik E2210 is turned off, Active Ethernet I/O
operation will resume when it is turned back on. This allows you to use the ioLogik E2210 for
PC-independent automation.
Ruleset Management Bar
z Clear: The Clear command erases the ruleset in both ioAdmin and in the ioLogik E2210.
z Retrieve: The Retrieve command copies the ruleset from the ioLogik E2210 into ioAdmin.
z Download: The Download command copies the ruleset from ioAdmin onto the ioLogik E2210.
z Run: The Run command starts the active I/O messaging system using the ruleset that the ioLogik
E2210 booted up with.
z Stop: The Stop command stops the active I/O messaging system.
Ruleset Import/Export
Although rulesets alone cannot be imported and exported, the entire system configuration including the
current ruleset may be imported and exported. As you make changes to a ruleset, you may export the
system configuration in order to save that ruleset.
